A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
The Magnet of Art That Drew the
Adnijring Crowds Last Night.


There was a concourse of wealth, fashion
and female loneliness at one Of our favorite
Wabasha street establishments Yesterday,
and brief investigation showed GLOBE
reporter that surprisingly elegant
display of draperies, pictures and other az
tistic noyelties-all produced by the White
sewing machine-was drawing large crowds
to the attractive warerooms of that com.
pany at the corner of Sixth and WabaSha
streets.
Such an array of handsome decorations
and such skill in their arrangement has not
been seen here before. Well-known gen.
tlemen whose knowledge of art has been
gained by wide experience joined in the
throng last evening and joined with the
ladies i'll expressing their approval of the
mechanical ingenuity that could provide
means wherewith to produce so easily
and so quickly these incompatible
specimens OF sewing machine work.
They equal the elegant productions of hand
embroidery, with only 1.-THE of the tedious
ness and expense that hand work involves.
The walk was carpeted and the
| entrance was arched as we often see at
wedding time. We entered the art gallery
it was nothing leSS-passing the queen;
dressed in white, her tuckS and frilis and
laceS and orange blOSSmS all made on the
white" and. opposite to her, splendid
showcase filled with novel work in every
conceivable style that feminine fancy could
suggest. Then, pictures, such as artists
| love to look upon, confronted our eyes.
There we saw Supremacy commanding
her tigers. There was the leopard Fam
ily' and 1.-The Triplets" (studies of horses
heads), as fine as one could wish to see.
There were pretty flower pictures
and fruit and game pieces, with
all of these worked upon the
| White sewing machine in the natural col
Ors, and in manner so beautiful that the
eyes only found pleasure in dwelling upon
them. Handsomely decorated curtains in
laces, velyetS and costly goods of various
kinds, gorgeously trimmed with flowers
and artistic designs were noticeable. So,
also. were screens, mantle covers and toilet
goods. In one portion we seemed to be in
most enhancing parlOr; in another a ia
BILE set with decorated linen pleased the eye
and gratltied the lover of beauty. A more
bewitching bedroom than that which
was prepared near by Ito be
seen but not usedl has seldom
tempted the weary to rep0se. Thus COM
pleteneSS OF arrangement added to the i'll
trinsic value of tine really artistic goods
that the White Sewing Machine company
will continue to exhibit until Thursday
next. the 14th INST. If you would transfer
yourselves to fairy land for moderate
| period, do not fail to see this valuable ex-
hibition at the earliest opportunity. The
experience will only lead you to induce
your friends to follow your example. You
should, at the least see the magnificent arti-
| fetal flowers and the ''Mikado BurleSque''
| that attract SO much attention there,
| together with the unrivaled arrasene and
kisniet work, which vie with 'Minnehaha's
| wooing" and the ''dailymaid's diversions
in enhancing the general attractiveness of
this valuable display. The fact that these
wonderful works of art were all produced
| with the White sewing machine, makes
the attraction all the more interesting to the
general public
